Description

Giovane Tortelote wrote a review in two thousand twenty-four on how diabetes during pregnancy can affect a baby's kidneys. The condition is called gestational diabetes. The review asks whether changes in how genes are switched on and off, known as epigenetic changes, carry much of the harm.

High blood sugar in the womb puts stress on the growing kidney. The review links that stress to fewer filtering units at birth and weaker kidney function later. It describes shifts in gene marks and in small RNA molecules that can disturb key growth paths. It also covers stress response, swelling, and metabolism paths tied to the effect.
